For his 10th collection and after skipping a season, Arturo Obegero looked back at what set him on the path to becoming a designer.
“Saura’s work allowed me to see how you can play with your roots, folklore and traditions and modernize them,” said the Paris-based designer. “It showed me what I could do.” Obegero pulled out all the stops with this 25-look lineup, using the ballet’s love story to lean into his brand’s gender-blending approach and signatures such as high-waisted matador trousers, tailoring and corsetry as well as high-drama pieces like a lace top with three-dimensional flurries that looked like the motifs were leaping off the skin.
While he didn’t rule out collaborations with retailers altogether, he intends to pivot towards a more bespoke approach, on the heels of these experiences with the “Cowboy Carter” star oras well as increased demand for custom bridal looks for the upcoming wedding season. Already, his website has been reconfigured to include made-to-order.
